This magnificent agricultural property, covering 2,620 sqm of space distributed across five historical buildings and 64 hectares of cultivated land, is a real gem in the province of Perugia, between Lake Trasimeno and the border with Tuscany. The complex stands out for its completely renovated 19th-century manor house, traditional farmhouses converted into elegant houses, a historical oil mill still in operation, and a certified organic olive grove with 9,000 trees producing extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality. The estate offers a rare investment opportunity that perfectly combines agricultural tradition, environmental sustainability and luxury accommodation potential.

The geographical location of this prestigious agricultural property in the heart of Umbria, a few kilometres from the picturesque Lake Trasimeno and close to the border with Tuscany, allows easy access to some of the most fascinating destinations in central Italy. Its proximity to Città della Pieve, with its masterpieces by Perugino, historical Perugia with its medieval centre, majestic Orvieto with its Gothic cathedral, and Castiglione del Lago by Lake Trasimeno, makes this property an ideal starting point for exploring the wonders of the region. Very close by, the horizons of Tuscany open up, with the renowned Cortona, Arezzo, Siena, Montepulciano and Florence itself, all within easy reach. 

This historical estate has its roots in the Umbrian agricultural tradition of the late 19th century, when the main villa was built, which still dominates the surrounding landscape with its imposing architecture. The main building, dating back to around 1880, is a significant example of rural noble architecture characterised by sober and elegant lines, now finely restored. In the early decades of the 20th century, the traditional farmhouse was added, built according to the canons of peasant architecture with local stone walls, terracotta tile roofs and loggias opening onto the surrounding hills. The old oil mill, the beating heart of the estate's oil production, bears witness to a tradition that has been handed down for generations.

Upon entering the main villa, we are immersed in an atmosphere of refined elegance that characterises all 600 square metres spread over the three floors of the building. The ground floor welcomes guests with a large living area where large arched windows open onto the hilly landscape, creating a visual continuum between inside and outside. On the upper floors, the sleeping area houses cosy bedrooms with panoramic views and bathrooms, as well as additional living and functional spaces. The historic 400-sqm farmhouse is cleverly divided into five independent apartments with original rustic charm.

The oil mill building is not only the productive heart of the estate, with cold-pressing machinery for olives on the ground floor, but also houses additional independent apartments on the upper floor. Additional spaces and buildings serving specific stages of olive oil production and marketing complete the complex, for a total of 950 sqm.

A more recent building has two floors and houses two apartments on the upper floor, while the ground floor has large spaces used for storage and warehousing, for a total of 370 sqm. Finally, a shed of about 300 sqm, overlooking an artificial lake, is dedicated to the storage of agricultural equipment and vehicles, completing the functionality of the entire complex.

The estate's outdoor spaces extend over 64 hectares of cultivated and natural land, creating a landscape of rare beauty and productivity. The jewel of the property is the magnificent organic olive grove that extends over 43 hectares, where 9,000 trees of the prized Leccino, Moraiolo, Frantoio and Dolce Agogia varieties grow luxuriantly according to the principles of certified organic and biodynamic agriculture. This centuries-old olive grove produces extra virgin olive oil of excellent quality, managed through a lease agreement with a renowned company specialising in organic olive oil production. The 4-hectare walnut grove contributes to the diversification of production, while the 17 hectares of oak forest offer shaded areas and nature trails winding through centuries-old trees. 

This luxury estate for sale is an investment of extraordinary value for those who wish to own an authentic piece of Italy at its most beautiful and productive. The property offers endless possibilities for development, from the creation of a high-end agritourism resort that celebrates the Italian lifestyle of la dolce vita, to the management of an exclusive private home surrounded by the unspoilt nature of Umbria. Purchasing this estate means acquiring a heritage that combines scenic beauty, productive tradition, environmental sustainability and economic potential in one of Italy's most authentic and fascinating regions, where the quality of life reaches levels of absolute excellence.
